Import
Loading an ESX file into Xactimate so it can be reviewed, edited, and re-priced.
On a real claim
Import is loading an ESX file into Xactimate so it can be reviewed, edited, and re-priced. On a claim import is how a carrier, a reviewer, or a contractor opens the other side's estimate to check the line items. What goes wrong: a file built for a different price list, or a damaged export, imports with wrong prices or dropped lines. Check that the imported total and line count match the source before you rely on it.
